30 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS - DAY 16

Hello Junkies!  

We're half-way to the end of our 30 days of Christmas celebration!  I hope you've taken advantage of the big 20% discount on all the Christmas stamps in the Technique Junkies Stamps Store. If you add my personal discount TJ10Cheri to your order, you'll receive another 10% off your selection of, not only Christmas stamps, but any other stamps you might like to add to your cart.  

The products I used for this card are "Angel of Ascension", a sentiment from "Gifts of Christmas set of 5" , Shimmering Bliss "Iridescent" and Nuvo Glitter Marker in Silver.  

I used Prismacolor pencils to color the angel on light blue card stock.  The sentiment was stamped in Archival "Watering Can" gray and a light coat of Shimmer Bliss was sprayed over the layer.  I then added some dots of the silver Glitter Marker for "stars" and a star die cut, cut from glitter paper. 

Thanks for stopping by today! Have fun shopping and don't forget the discounts.

30 days of Christmas-Day 15

Anyone up for a drink? I would love one of these Christmas 'Tini's!!!

I LOVE this stamp because you get the image and sentiment all in one!!!!

It's called Cocktail Joy

I stamped the card using a couple of different techniques with the Misti

First, I stamped the whole thing lightly with Memento Desert Sand to get a light guide for the rest of the card. Next, I used Water based Markers for the sentiment and the outline of the leaves.

I used a combination of water based markers and copics to colour the image and add Shadows.

Lastly, Frosted the rim of the middle glass with some chunky glitter and added a glittery green straw~

Easy Peasy~~~

Hope you have a wonderful week~~~

30 Days of Christmas - Day 11 : Holly Jolly

Hello friends! Giovana here today.

It's day 11 of our 30 Days of Christmas Celebration!

From now until November 13th all of the stamps in the Christmas Category at Technique Junkies are on sale at 20% off but if you use the code TJ10Giovana at checkout all of the Christmas stamps are 30% off!!! Time to stock up on some pretty Christmas stamps! 

So, let me show you the project I have for you today.

For this project I used Christmas Whimsy Background, I stamped it on a piece of pink cardstock, I used my Misti to get a perfect impression.  After the image was perfectly stamped, I stamped on top Textured Newsprint Stamp in Beige color, just to give the image a bit more of texture. 

Cut the image to 4" x 4", then die-cut the center part using scallop circle dies. 

Create a card base from white cardstock, 5.5" x 5.5", then add a red panel 5" square to card base, then adhere the stamped panel and the circle piece adhere it with foam tape to create a little dimension.

Add green metallic tape around and a couple of gold snowflakes.

Finally, I added a lot of red, pink and white Nuvo dots.

Hope you like it!

Have a wonderful day!

 

30 Days of Christmas - Day 10

Hello and welcome to day 10 of our 30 days of Christmas ... the Technique Junkies Design Team will be posting a Christmas project on the blog from October 15th through November 13th, so be sue to check back every day for some inspiration, also if today is your first time here scroll back to the start date October 15th so you don't miss anything.

Also, all Technique Junkies Christmas Stamps are on Sale through November 13th ... you will save 20% off all Christmas stamps AND you can also use my code TJ10Stephanie for an additional 10% off your entire order (you can stack the %-off for this Christmas celebration).

I made cards featuring two of the very first stamps that made me fall in love with Technique Junkies Stamps ... the Christmas Kitty and Dear Santa.  I remember at least one childhood occasion when our cat knocked over our Christmas tree in the middle of the night ... what a cacophony that was.  These stamps always remind me of that childhood memory.

I love stamping the Christmas Kitty in unexpected colors for sort of an Andy Warhol-like effect to my designs.  Here he is in Rockin' Red, which coordinates perfectly with papers and embellishments from the Jingle All The Way Collection from My Mind's Eye.

The layout is inspired by the October Sketch at the Stick it Down Challenge.

He also looks quite dashing in Skylight Blue, which coordinated perfectly with another designer paper from the same My Mind's Eye paper collection.

I used the other piece of the red paper and did sort of another variation on the same sketch (nothing wasted that way, and I was able to extend the design to a wider orientation).

Hope you're inspired by all of the Christmas designs on the Blog this month.
